From the supplier: The campus-wide fiber optic network Ball State University installed in 1989 has motivated teachers to consider cooperative-learning techniques and other innovative teaching methods that take advantage of the system's multimedia capabilities. The video information system (VIS) reaches 300 campus sites, which includes 40 buildings and over 2,500 students every day. Instructors access the VIS through a control panel in each site, which may operate up to six different media sources. Film strips, slides and 16mm film are still in use along with newer technology such as still video and compact disk-interactive (CD-I). One professor developed over 1,700 still-video images to enhance his lectures and help teach the subtleties of non-verbal communication in a large lecture hall. Working in pairs, the students performed experiments using the visual images.
